About the role
TL;DR
Senior Perception Engineer to build real-time perception and localization for autonomous systems.
- •Own the spatial state-estimation layer of our autonomy platform.
- •Build the perception systems that let drones understand where they are, what they see, and how to operate when GPS, lighting, timing, and the real world get difficult.
- •Key Responsibilities Build, tune, and deploy robust visual-inertial odometry and state-estimation pipelines.
- •Fuse and synchronize data from cameras, IMUs, and other onboard sensors into reliable pose estimates.
- •Build mapping, loop closure, re-localization, and map-based navigation capabilities.
- •Optimize perception pipelines for onboard compute and debug sensor issues in real-world conditions.
- •Mentor engineers, review architecture and code, and help define the long-term perception roadmap.
- •Requirements M.Sc., Ph.D., or equivalent practical background in Robotics, Computer Vision, or related field.
- •Several years of hands-on experience building perception, SLAM, VIO, localization, or sensor-fusion systems.
- •Strong foundations in 3D geometry, linear algebra, probability, estimation theory, and optimization.
- •Proficient in C++, Python or Rust and comfortable writing production-quality software.
- •Practical experience with techniques such as EKF, factor graphs, nonlinear least squares, and bundle adjustment.
